Вишнёвый (Cherry) Lyrics Meaning

[Интро]
In the intro, the singer expresses a sense of contradiction. He describes how he kisses the sweet filter of his lover’s cigarette, but at the same time, he hates the cherry (likely referring to the lipstick or the taste). Despite his feelings of dislike, he acknowledges that the cherry look suits her better than anything else, showing a complex relationship between attraction and frustration.

[Бридж]
In this bridge, the singer describes the woman preparing herself, putting on bright makeup and wearing a short skirt. He contrasts their love with the material world, saying that her skirt is longer than their love was before engagement. Despite this, he feels her lipstick on his lips and sees her as someone who has come from a difficult past (“you came out of hell”), suggesting that their relationship is intense and marked by deep contrasts.

[Припев]
The chorus captures a feeling of falling deeply into the relationship. The singer imagines falling into his lover’s hands and closing his eyes, symbolizing total surrender to her. He reflects on the duality of life—some seek happiness, others seek revenge—and the confusion between truth and lies. It reflects how love can be a mix of clear moments and confusing emotions.

[Куплет]
In this verse, the singer contemplates his love’s complexity. He says her love doesn’t tire him out but is also not something sweet or simple. The comparison to love films with pastel colors highlights an idealized, almost superficial image of love, contrasting with the deep, often painful reality they experience. He admits that wanting to stay with her means accepting despair, comparing it to his ship leaving port and his heartbeat racing. Despite feeling trapped and frustrated, he can’t leave her, though he recognizes that others might not handle this intense love.

[Припев]
In this repeated chorus, the singer reflects again on his surrender to love, feeling as though he’s falling into his lover’s hands and being swept into her life forever. He repeats the imagery of half the world being truth, while the other half is full of lies, showing the internal conflict of the relationship. The repetition emphasizes the confusion and duality in their love—love can feel real and fake at the same time.
